Ubisense Group plc (AIM:UBI), a global leader in enterprise location intelligence solutions, is today announcing the launch of a new product to accelerate construction projects for communications and utility businesses by eliminating delays in as-built updates from field staff and contractors.

Developed in collaboration with major network infrastructure companies, myWorld Capture includes industry-leading, built-for-mobile field tools that leverage the GPS, camera and Google Street View capabilities of iOS, Android and Windows smart phones, tablets and laptops. Field workers can continue to be productive on their mobile devices while offline, with enterprise grade secure offline data synchronization that is proven to scale to thousands of users.

An application for myWorld, Ubisense’s enterprise location intelligence platform, myWorld Capture enables field staff and contractors to deliver high quality, same day construction as-builts, red-lines, and data corrections from any mobile device. It gives operations teams access to up-to-date, high quality information enabling them to operate the network more safely and efficiently, reducing the as-built backlog, unnecessary truck rolls and re-work.

Key product features include:

Same-day as-builts: Immediate, high quality data updates from contractors and ﬁeld staff to the rest of the organization in order to operate networks more safely and efficiently, plus accelerate construction project timelines.

Right ﬁrst time data quality: Standards are built in to the ﬁeld tool, making it easy for staff and contractors to collect high quality structured data at the source, speeding up data QA cycles and reducing data backlogs.

Simple contractor ﬁeld tools: Standardizes quality and speed of data from contractors with easy-to-deploy mobile app that runs on any phone, tablet or laptop. Designed for mobile to use GPS, camera and Google Street View to make collection easy.
